Santa!

Santa came to our house! Here's the proof...
Can you tell which one she liked the best?

Christmas Eve

My family does Christmas on Christmas Eve. We have done it that way for the past couple years and we like it. My mom made a rule this year that you can only give gifts to our family if you made it. Uh, that's really hard. I didn't make my brother anything...I mean really..what could I make that a 16 year old boy would like?? I did make my mom's, a Christmas tree, out of a foam cone, ornaments(balls) and garland. I gave it to her early because I wanted her to be able to decorate with it this year. If your interested in knowing everything I made, just ask me. :)

Jenna got lots of stuff from Mimi and Poppy, Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Ben. Her Poppy got her a rocking chair and she LOVES it. We sit and read in it everyday. They also gave us stuff for Carson too!

Lindsey is crazy! She made my dad Elvis boxers, just as a joke. (Remember we had to make everything...).

We had great food and great desserts too. I love Christmas!

Blevins Christmas!

Matt, Jenna and I drove from Daphne to Rainsville on Sunday morning to go to Christmas there as well. There was more family there! We ate and played Dirty Santa and then opened even more presents. I did better at Dirty Santa this time!! I didn't get many pictures but we had a wonderful time.
This is Jenna with her cousin, Hailey and her second cousin(or 1st cousin once removed..whatever), Titan.

After it was over we were so exhausted that we went home and crashed!

Second weekend in a row

We went to Daphne two weekends in a row. This time it was for Taylor Christmas. Matt, Jenna, Lindsey and I left Thursday night around 8. We drove all night and luckily, Jenna slept most of the way. We went shopping all day Friday and out to eat that night. Then on Saturday was Taylor Christmas. We ALL went to a seafood resturaunt to eat and then to my Cuz's house for dessert, Dirty Santa and presents. We had a blast! I love getting together with our family. It makes great memories. Jenna got motivated by her cousins, Bella and Reed, to start walking!Ryan, Reed, and Amber

Pictures

Here are some pictures from last weekend except for the MCBC pictures. I left them at my house so here are the cute ones of Jenna and Bella. This on Jenna is saying "more" in sign language. That's one of her favorite things to say.

Our Weekend

I haven't gotten my pictures yet but I will post them next weekend when I get the CD from my Cuz.

Jenna, Lindsey and I drove down to Daphne on Friday. Luckily Jenna did so great traveling! We told her that we were going to get to see her cousin Bella. So the whole trip, except for when she was sleeping, she was saying "Bella!" So that night Bella came over to play. They had a blast!! I can't wait to post the pictures. Jenna played with Play Dough for the first time. She only tried to eat it once, unlike Bella who ate it every chance she got! They also made Gingerbread cookies with Aunt Jerri. Jenna and Bella were covered in flour and ate cookie dough faster than we could get it away from them. They are going to be great little cousins!

Saturday was the main reason we went down to Daphne. Bay Community does an outreach every year called Merry Christmas Baldwin County. They give bikes, presents, and boxes of food to families in need. You can't imagine the turn out we had. I'll have pictures of that too. People started waiting 12 hours before the distribution even started. It was cold outside. Really cold. But that just shows that these people really did need food and presents for their kids. There are numerous stories every year of the way God is blessing these people through us and how God is blessing us through serving Him and giving. Its an amazing experience!

We were able to spend time with our family and also go to church and see everyone there too. We are heading back down there on Friday for Taylor Christmas. Burning the roads! Its worth it. I love it down there.

It's a boy!

We went for our ultrasound today. We are having a BOY! We're so excited. Everything else looks ok. We are going back for another ultrasound in 4 weeks because my placenta is still low but we aren't worried about it. The first picture is his face and the second one is showing that he's a boy! YAY!!! We've picked a name out already. We've had this since before we knew that Jenna was a girl. Carson James Edgeworth. Looks like I got a lot of girl stuff to go through to get ready for my new boy! :)
